| Popis: | p, p′-DDD (p, p′-TDE; 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane) is an extremely persistent environmental contaminant1; it is a well known insecticide but is also derived from p, p′-DDT (1,1,1 -trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane) in the environment by a process of reductive dechlorination. The conversion of DDT to DDD has been observed in a wide variety of biological systems, both living and dead2. The mechanism by which this degradation of a highly chlorinated molecule takes place in the environment is of considerable interest but has not been clearly established3,4. |
